Baker&rsquo;s brand is also the brand that has the most widespread availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to try some <a href=\"https:\/\/sweethaus.com\/tasty-german-desserts-to-make-this-weekend\/\">German<\/a> chocolate cupcakes, then you have come to the right place!

If you want your cupcakes cooled but not too cold, take them from the refrigerator thirty minutes before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. <a rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dessertfortwo.com\/german-chocolate-cupcakes\/\" target=\"_blank\">Egg-Free German Chocolate Cupcakes<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><\/p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=194991858856875421\" height=\"775\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>The ideal chocolate-based springtime treat is German Chocolate Cupcakes, which as you know are chocolate cupcakes topped with a luscious coconut pecan frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not underestimate the delicious potential of this luscious coconut pecan icing for cupcakes, as this is the perfect way to top off these dessert treats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what are you supposed to do if you have an egg allergy? Do you just have to avoid tasty dessert treats forever? Of course not! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of egg-free German chocolate cupcake recipes out there, though this might be the best one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These chocolate cupcakes get their lift and fluffiness not from eggs but from the reactions that occur when baking soda and vinegar come into contact with one another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using this method, the fluffy texture of the cupcakes is maintained, so you can still get a light and airy texture even without using eggs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These German Chocolate Cupcakes include a frosting that is prepared with egg yolk, evaporated milk, sugar, coconut, butter, and chopped nuts, so if you do suffer from an egg allergy then this part of the recipe will not be appropriate for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use whatever frosting you want on these cakes though, so if you have a favorite then top off the cakes with that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do use this frosting recipe though, expect a velvety texture that is ideal for dousing cupcakes in. Be sure to let it cold completely before applying it to the cupcakes, or else it will slip right off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchenismyplayground.com\/2012\/03\/german-chocolate-cupcakes.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\">German Chocolate Cupcakes With Chocolate And Coconut Frosting<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><\/p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=358317714102282321\" height=\"777\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>There are only a few variations of the classic German Chocolate cupcakes, as these kinds of cupcakes need to have a few key ingredients to fit into this group of cakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this, many bakers choose to make the frosting different rather than the cake itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While coconut frosting is a must for German chocolate cakes, if you want to make the cupcakes even sweeter, you can ice the cupcakes with chocolate icing first!

But how can you get these flavors and textures without using animal products?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step is swapping out the butter for vegan butter and shortening. You can&rsquo;t make fluffy and excellent vegan buttercream without this! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The frosting has a pleasant flavor since it is made with vegan butter, and the addition of shortening keeps it from melting even when it is at room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will also swap out the milk for coconut milk. Using full-fat coconut milk in the cupcakes will give them a bit of additional richness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top the cupcakes with icing made of caramel and pecans and you have yourself some delicious vegan German chocolate cupcakes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. <a rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/foodnetwork.co.uk\/recipes\/chocolate-cupcakes-with-chocolate-mascarpone-filling-and-zinfandel-buttercream\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ina Garten&rsquo;s German Chocolate Cupcakes<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><\/p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=8022105559249459\" height=\"438\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyone who is a fan of baking has heard of Ina Garten.
